Added EV

[rukus]

for some reason, after a 2 day "session" in AC this weekend, it became apparent to me how many ploppies there are out there where you can take advantage of their "ploppiness".

the most common way to add EV to your play is to double for someone when they refuse to, ie if someone has a 11 v 10 or 10 v 9 or something and wont double, you should offer to double for them.

this is not a new idea by any means, but i was able to do this an unusually large number of times this weekend and it occurred to me that i ought to remind people, as it is a great suggestion that i hope you guys take advantage of when given the opportunity.

Putting up the whole double for a player on a hand that involves a dealer's up-card of 7 or higher creates a hazardous situation. With 11 vs. 10 for example, if the player catches almost any small card, he won't be able to hit again and repercussions could ensue. It's safer for you if he doubles for part of it with such hands.

However, if a player doesn't want to double with say, A/6 vs. 4, then go ahead and take the whole thing. Even with something like 9 vs. 4, the only time there could be a problem is when he catches a deuce specifically.
